The font size commands change these lengths.
Use the following

\let\oldnormalsize=\normalsize
\renewcommand{\normalsize}{%
  \oldnormalsize%
  \setlength{\abovedisplayskip}{0pt}%
  \setlength{\abovedisplayshortskip}{0pt}%
  \setlength{\belowdisplayskip}{0pt}%
  \setlength{\belowdisplayshortskip}{0pt}}
\normalsize

I got the code below from the help site. 
The problem is, I need to reduce the spacing between the text and the 
equation, not increase. I entered negative values, but it didn't seem to 
help. Can anyone help me with this please?

Thanks
